Family weekend and Halloween

We've had two busy weekends, separated by a hurricane.  Crazy!

Two weekends ago was Family Weekend at the College of Wooster.  Maggie went down Friday afternoon to stay overnight in the dorm with her big sister Anna.  The rest of us followed on Saturday afternoon.  It was rainy and cold, but we managed to time our walks between rain showers.  

Here, we even caught the halftime show at the football game: marching band, pipes and drums, and Scottish highland dancers.


In the art building, they had crayons.  Made in the shape of cows.  I kid you not.


Siblings seeing the sights.

Monday following, the remnants of hurricane Sandy swept through, amplified by a nor'easter.  The combined effect was a mess in Cleveland as with many parts east of here.  Our home was spared the worst, but with power out and wires down in much of the city, Halloween trick-or-treating was postponed to Sunday.

Our little goblin didn't seem to mind.  This year, Grandma sent TWO costumes.  Here's Black Bart.


And for going out on a cold and rainy evening, the Fireman outfit was just the ticket!

Wooster Homecoming

It wasn't exactly our homecoming at Wooster this weekend, but big sister/aunt Jane couldn't make it.  And we got a request late in the week to come visit Anna, so... why not?  The promise of a parade with bagpipes was too hard to deny.  So we drove down this morning for a little quality time on campus (and off, it turns out!) with Anna.

After the parade we took her out to lunch at the ever-yummy Broken Rocks Cafe in downtown Wooster, then a little drive to nearby Kidron for a visit to the massive general store Lehman's and a scoop of ice cream.  Here are a few pictures:
